[QUOTE=Shawn;567277]I know many wont want to hear this but Gay will likely become a huge signing this year. He must play well. Maybe Thomas will be able to step into the slot. But I see a dinged up secondary, an elderly Ike and much inexperience. Gay must be solid for us.[/QUOTE]

...and Gilbert needs to be good for us but I doubt it will happen.

[QUOTE=hawaiiansteel;567258]I agree, Justin Cruz is the best slot receiver in the league. which is exactly why if I'm Dick LeBeau I don't leave Willie Gay covering him without safety help...[/QUOTE]

I'm sure Gay wants to be the best he could possibly be but he doesn't have what it takes. The Steelers dropped the ball with either evaluating talent or whatever. Our secondary has a one time decent corner that is now old, a couple of aging safeties and other corners that have proved they are not starters or guys we don't know if they can handle the job. This entire off season the Steelers didn't make selections of advancement or had planned strategies, the just did knee jerk reactions to everything that was happening and falling in around them. My biggest heartbreak with this coaching staff/front office was that they had taken back Gay. Just proves to me they didn't know what they were doing when they let him go or they didn't know what they were doing when the had taken him back. The real problem with Gay was, that they signed him to the team in the first place.
